On the Waterfront
Cert. PG

This classic story of Mob informers was based on a number of true stories and filmed on location around the docks of New York and New Jersey.

Mob-connected union boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb) rules the waterfront with an iron fist. The police know that he's been responsible for a number of murders, but witnesses play deaf and dumb.

Washed-up boxer Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) has had an errand-boy job because of the influence of his brother Charley, a crooked union lawyer (Rod Steiger). Witnessing one of Friendly's rub-outs, Terry is willing to keep his mouth shut - until he meets the dead dockworker's sister, Edie (Eva Marie Saint).
